Question

Do the two parallelograms in the figure appear to be similar? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding sides are congruent

In this problem

The ratio of its corresponding sides are not proportional

because

$\frac{6}{16}\neq \frac{6}{10}$

therefore

The parallelograms are not similar because although corresponding angles have the same measures, corresponding sides aren't proportional

Answer 2

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallelograms are not similar because although corresponding angles have the same measures, corresponding sides aren't proportional.
